I'm in the process of deciding where to invest in real estate, and I find myself torn between two options: The Local Metro area of Colorado Springs and the Nearby Rural region of Pueblo West, CO. 

Our standards are anyone 18+ has to fill out an app.

On another note, I need almost 45,000 cubic yards of fill.

Some things I did to streamline some of that is pay some of the expenses in batches if you can't or unwilling to automate.Maybe what you need to do is look at streamlining your own process. 

Speaking as an immigrant myself, immigrants do not want any eviction record on their credit as they are trying to establish a life here, but I am not sure how to facilitate an eviction process for an international tenant with limited information on hand. 

Another thought process is, you be your own general contractor (don't pay a contractor to handle the rehab).  

We are in the process of starting a new construction with a big name local builder in the area.

Post your questions here and this community will help you process potential steps. 

Just to understand the process better?  

He said there is another, cheaper option where I basically fill in a survey.
